Packer is a seminal work that divides into three main sections.
The first section, 'Knowing the Lord,' focuses on how and why we know God, emphasizing the importance of listening to God’s word and understanding His nature.
The second section, 'Behold Your God,' delves into the attributes of God such as His love, grace, wisdom, justice, and sovereignty.
The third section explores the practical applications of knowing God, including the gospel message and what it means to live as a Christian.
